Re: [TMIC] Need info---does anyone have a port?
Gracie, I spent 9 weeks in the hospital when TM hit me.They put a port in my left arm.With all the stickings I had, I thought it was a blessing.I could not shower when it was in.I don't know if mine was the same as you are talking about, but maybe so.

Hi Guys, My infusion nurse discussed the possibility of having a port inserted for my Rituximab infusions. Does anyone here have one, and if so, what has your experience been? My veins are a really hard stick and blow easily. I've read about using a port, and it sounds quite innocuous but I'd like some first hand input. Thanks, Gracie

*Hi Janice, * *I**t will be placed in my chest, and will be totally under the skin, so I'll be able to bath, swim, and the whole nine yards. I've managed to find a good number of people who have one, and all of them seem to like it. Thanks so much for the input. * *Hugs,* *Gracie* * *
